Potty pothole placement in Bucks sparks Banksy comparisons
The newly askew cover is just outside The Red Lion pub...
People are in disbelief over a highway blunder in a Bucks town.
A manhole cover put back incorrectly on Germain Street in Chesham has prompted people on social media to question whether “someone left their brain at home”.
Tom George alerted Bucks Council to the obvious fault because the misplaced lid had also misaligned the double-yellow lines painted on it.
Mr George said the newly askew cover is just outside The Red Lion pub.
Others on social media also commented, some saying it was done on purpose, others joking it might be street artist Banksy.
Steve Richards: “Just the drain team keeping the line removal and painting teams employed?”
Craig Hope: “That appears to be a sport in South Wales, it’s got to be done for a laugh.”
Chris Daniel: “One job. They had just one job.”
London Lad: “Someone left their brain at home.”
John Fitz: “Attention to detail.”
Adrian Mayhew: “Banksy?”
“Really, Bucks Council?” Mr George.
Bucks Council was approached for comment.
